about

First acquisition of the Studio Synthèse, the Synthi AKS was for several years André's reference synth until the purchase of his Oberheim Sem and Serge Modular prototypes.
His AKS was sold to another Ircam student at the time, Didier Debril, in 1981, when he was preparing to join Morton Subotnick in the United States to continue his research.
Proud to feature an alternate version of the soundtrack of Cherica Convent and Roger Steylaert's cult film "Office Baroque", about the performance of the American artist Gordon Matta Clark in Antwerp, during the summer of 1977. André was invited to illustrate various sequences of the film. In order to provide the best recording conditions, Cherica Convent moved a quasi-professional video studio to the Studio Synthèses so that André could compose in real time on the images on a Nagra recorder and then on his Otari. The result is a dark, oppressive and gripping music that gave a very special touch to the film.
This version was unreleased until recently, because the U.S. producers and the widow of GMC considered this soundtrack to be far too avant-garde for the time and it was replaced by a jazzy soundtrack. The original version of the film is now available for consultation via the ARGOS foundation.
